Materials Chemistry and Catalysis

Frank de Groot

Theoretical and experimental X-ray spectroscopy​
​
Frank de Groot’s work reflects a concern with both the theoretical and experimental aspects of X-ray spectroscopy, including fundamental studies and diverse applications across various scientific fields

Petra de Jongh

Nanomaterials, catalysts, renewable energy, hydrogen​
​
Petra de Jongh combines advanced preparation and characterisation tools to understand the relation between physical-chemical properties and functionality of catalysts and energy materials.

Peter Ngene​

Energy material synthesis and characterization

​​Peter Ngene’s research focuses on exploring nanomaterials for batteries, electrocatalysis, and to improve energy efficiency and storage and thus make renewable energy more viable.

Jessi van der Hoeven

Colloid synthesis, electron microscopy and catalysis​
​
Jessi combines colloid synthesis, advanced electron microscopy and catalysis to understand and develop more efficient catalytic materials. We have a strong focus on multi-metallic core-shell nanoparticle catalysts, a novel class of materials with strongly enhanced catalytic properties.

Nong Artrith ​

First principles and ML methods for energy materials​
​
Nong develops and applies computational methods to understand & design complex energy materials. By integrating data science with simulated and experimental data, our research accelerates materials discovery. Explore our open-source code, ænet, available for free access.
